Thanks for the reply Herman.
My reasoning for removing the wheel and measuring it was incase it had been incorrectly mounted.
I've no reason to believe it has been, but I'm wondering if it's possible to fit the wheel so that it is not concentric.
If you know for sure that this is not possible, it'll save me the trouble of removing it.

Thanks guys.
I'll check the wheel as you suggested Herman. I'm guessing that the best way to check the wheel is to remove it and carefully measure it from the centre point. Unless you think there's a better way, I'll try this later and let you know. IN the meantime I guess I should order the Knife Jigs. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks again

OK. As I said, I have a Supergrind 1200, which I 'inherited' from a carpenter friend. I want to use it for sharpening a range of knives (camping, machete, pocket folders, kitchen knives etc) and have the following questions:

• Is the Tormek the best tool for knives? or should I use bench stones?
• How do I get the grinding wheel to run smoothly - it seems to be 'off centre', and has a 'hump' when it rotates.
• Will the existing accessories, such as the knifes jig, fit my 1200?

Any help gratefully received.

Hi all - new to these forums, and have a few questions about my ageing Supergrind 1200. Is it best to post them all in one thread, or should I do it seperately?
